Biography
David W. Rodgers, Ph.D. Professor, Associate Dean of the College of Science & Engineering Born and raised in the Midwest, educated in Minnesota and California, and now settled in Idaho. Specialties are Structural Geology, Regional Tectonics, and more recently Administration.
Research Interest
I have a wide variety of interests in both brittlely and ductilely deformed rocks, in extensional and contractional systems, and in uplift and subsidence analysis. Some common themes: all research is rooted in field-based data collection such as geologic map making and structural analysis; structural analyses are generally map- and outcrop-scale, not smaller; both tectonic histories and deformation processes are studied with more emphasis on the former; and nearly all projects are completed with the help of other specialists - geochronologists, sedimentologists, petrologists, geomorphologists, or other structural geologists.
